Photo shot list: room by room, first five in order

The first photo decides whether a guest looks further, and the next four decide whether the promise holds. Plan every shot room by room, pick your first five in order, and hand your photographer a one-page brief.

Your entries stay in this browser.

Show only what guests will actually find: no amenity they cannot use, nothing staged that is not provided, and no edit that hides a flaw.

Candidates for the opening shot

  • The outdoor moment. A usable outdoor moment: a patio set for coffee, a fire pit with chairs, a porch at the best hour.
  • The signature amenity. The one feature guests mention most, shown in use.
  • The arrival feeling. The exterior at the right time of day, if it makes the place feel inviting.
  • The hospitality proof shot. A composed detail that shows care: a coffee bar, a reading corner, a made bed in warm light.

Amenities you list on your unit record card appear here as shots to add.

Room by room

No rooms yet.

The first five

The opening photos answer a guest's questions in order.

  1. The promise (Why should I care?): not chosen yet
  2. The proof (Is the place real?): not chosen yet
  3. The sleeping confidence (Can we sleep comfortably?): not chosen yet
  4. The lifestyle support (How will we spend time there?): not chosen yet
  5. The location/context (Where are we, and what does this trip feel like?): not chosen yet

Before you choose the first photo

  • Would I stop scrolling?
  • Can I tell what is special in one second?
  • Does this photo communicate the stay, not just the room?
  • Is the image bright and clean without feeling fake?
  • Would the guest feel the same promise when they arrive?
